Looking for something to get on Steam? Having trouble sorting through everything that’s in the store? We have you covered through our Steam curator list, where we post recommendations of games we’ve reviewed here on DieHard GameFAN or have played through on our own time. Additionally, once a week we’ll be posting recommendations for games on our list, highlighting one of the many games we’ve played and loved. This week we’re highlighting Read-Only Memories, a game I supported on Kickstarter and wrote about a few years ago, and even interviewed lead engineer Ted DiNola to find out more about the game and the creative process going into it.
Read-Only Memories
Publisher: MidBoss, LLC.
Developer: MidBoss, LLC.
Genre: Adventure
Release Date: 10/06/2015
In Read-Only Memories (reviewed by our own Aaron Sirois) you play as a young investigative journalist trying to make it in Neo-San Francisco. One day, a hot lead in the form of a robot breaks into your house. This robot, Turing, claims they are the first ever example of sapience in a machine. Turing tells you that their “father,” Hayden, has been kidnapped, presumably in order to gain access to the technology that powers them. Turing asks for your help to find Hayden and get to the truth of the matter. The game is set in a futuristic dystopia not unlike that found in Snatcher, to which the game pays homage. If you’re a fan of retro adventure games set in a rich environment with great music, this game is for you. Still not sure? Watch the trailer below.
